Radical Paths

is a weekly newsletter about creating lives that differ from the norm because the other option is unacceptable.

It’s about the deep wisdom of following our inner oracles who always know the next right step.

It’s for people who might need a little push to believe they can, too.

It may include topics such as

⛵️ Living a life of constant adventure

🗽 Self-empowerment and defying limitations

📽️ Extracting lessons from art (cinema)

😼 Disobeying our parents

👄 Our crazy culture

Cory Vinny

is infinitely curious and constantly questioning the status quo. He’s always been a radical — by choice.

  • At 19, he ditched the “normal” path and moved to Australia solo with little money instead of going to college.

  • He got sober at 20 after years of addiction, rebooted his life, and excelled in community college.

  • At 24, he made a bold declaration: “I’m going to Harvard” — and he got in, on a full ride.

  • Since then, he’s traveled through 30+ countries (mostly sleeping in hostels), explored 45 states (often sleeping in his car), and has lived a life full of grit, curiosity, and courage.

Now, he’s taking off on his biggest adventure yet: a multi-year sailboat circumnavigation on a tight budget (set sail in June 2025) ⛵️😸
